Understanding The Endocannabinoid System

The cannabis plant and its phytocannabinoids, particularly THC and CBD, can interact with the endocannabinoid system in multiple ways, including mimicking endocannabinoids, modulating endocannabinoid levels, and indirectly influencing ECS-related processes. These interactions contribute to the potential medical benefits of cannabis, such as pain relief, anti-inflammation, neuroprotection, and homeostatic regulation.
